Does the Vatican police still turn criminals over to the Italians for prosecution? if so I wonder what kind of satanic cult ritual theory the Italian prosecutor will try to construct around this crime?

I saw a Frontline on PBS last week on the Vatican Bank. The Bank has been laundering Neopolitan,Sicilian, and other crime organizations money for centuries. When a prominent Italian prosecutor was asked what would happen if Pope Francis carried out a major reform of the Bank, the Prosecutor said that the Crime Families wouldn't hesitate to whack him. I was kind of shocked frankly.

Why the surprise? They whacked the last Pope who threatened to sort them out.

Hoarseman:"The two suspects were later released pending further investigation, Financial Guard police officer Davide Cardia told AP news agency, as Italian law does not require arrest for fraud investigations."

Be it as it may, I think they might be hesitant to do the same to Pope Francis. He's a very polarizing pontiff. He's reinvigorating the Catholic Church, inspiring the flock like they haven't been for centuries. If there was even a hint of his death being an assassination, he'd become an instant martyr, and the enraged faithful would see everything he ever dreamed of doing carried out to the end.

In addition, Francis is considerably more savvy than the previous popes appear to have been. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he hasn't already put in place contingency plans for if he is assassinated or dies a "sudden" death. Videos from beyond the grave where the subject is speaking with the full knowledge that it won't be shown until he's dead can be very VERY powerful things.

If I were a cute American girl in Italy, who once went to an Italian bank, I would be catching a cab for the airport right now.

/It's an odd turn of events, when the Vatican police are probably much more rational about the satanic cult BS, than the Italian prosecutors.

Italy, we may have found one of your problems.

They should be arrested for impersonating Nigerian princes. Aggravated impersonation of a Nigerian prince, while white. They could do serious time for this.

Bit'O'Gristle:/Has he now.... would that include a complete and detailed report of the churches income / spending / investments? One has to wonder.

Are you seriously unable to see the difference between how the Church, a corporation, is different from a bank it has which is notorious for manipulating/laundering money and why transparency there would be reasonable, but then sharing everything your company does to anyone who feels like looking it up, is a *wee* bit different?
